LINCOLN, Neb..' Sept. 1Vi Special.)
Thla city wit the center rf political aetlvl
; les of the state during the laat week. Can
v ci. dates for all of the varloua state offices
to be filled by election thla fall were In
town, conferring: with one or the other of
the Mate central committees and making
friends of visiting votera who came to
attend the Hate fair.
While interest centered on the coming
lection considerable talk was Indulged in
by party workers as to the prospects of
parties and candidates for next year when
the voters of the state will be given tha
opportunity for the- time of trying out the
newly enacted- provisions of the Evans
Gustafson primary bill relating to the ex
pression of a preferential vote for president
and vice president and to the selection of
delegates to. the national convention by di
rect vote of the people. All manner of sug
gestions were heard aa to possible candi
dates on both republican and democratic
tickets for state office. The presence of
ex-Governor Shallenberger and W. H.
Thompson In the city gave rise to much
democratic senatorial talk as did the recent
visit of Norrls Brown. The state fair anti
reciprocity talk, of George W. Norrls caused
tha republicans to forecast activities along
that line.
The meeting of both state central com--
and the secret gathering held by
executive -committee of the Nebraska
gresslve Republican leagua also served
keep the tires burning and gave Indi
cation that .nothing like a calm existed
even at the present tlma.
Change of Headquarters Jfotble.
The most significant move of the week
in the eyes of the progressive republicans
was tha removal of the republican state
headquarters to Omaha. This action was
freely commented on during the week
by many of the leagua members and
by them was taken as an Invitation to
open La Follette headquarters In this city.
Regulars who heard of the Intense desire
of tha progressives to accept tha lssua and
make the fight on the reciprocity bill
smiled at. the. earnestness of tha opposition
and were Inclined to believe that subse
quent -aotlvlties of the very few leaders
of tha movement would not be widespread
enough to attract and great amount of
attention.- - t
Democrats Of the state are in a sad
plight as to their stand on the reciprocity
Question. Although the large majority of
those who were In this city In the last
week were Inclined to look upon the pact
with much favor, disquieting Influences
were present.

MOSS OF AGES ON IT
Oldest Joke In the World la Dolus
Business at Its Rearulnr
Stands.
What la tha eldest joke in tha world? Ac
cording to T. P. 'a Weekly It la the follow
ing, which Is related In one of the Berlin
papryl of the sixth Egyptian dynasty
(about 3300 B. C ), and It should not be
overlooked that In the days when the world
waa young a tale employed centuries of
verbal currency before It was Inscribed In
permanent form.
According to the papyrlne, a certain
scribe who worked for the Temple of Thoth
occupied apartments where his neighbors
on either side were coppersmith and a car
penter respectively. These honest artis
ans were exemplary specimens of Industry,
and kept up such a row all day and most
of the night that the poor acrlbe was al
most driven mad. At last by a stroke of
craftiness ha buttonholed each nelgbor sep
arately and bribed them to change their
lodging, which they did with one another.
This tale haa kept the world amused
for five thousand years 'we often meet with
It now and It never seems to have occurred
to anybody to wonder why tha acrlbe did
not change his own lodgings; but perhaps
his rent waa In such arrears, as sometimes
happens to other literary gentlemen, that
It was cheaper to bribe the two workmen.
Another perennial that runs tha above
hard for first place In point of age Is that
of tha man who goes to buy some weighty
article and carries it on his shoulder to
save tiring the horse he Is riding.

AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA
Expectation it Referee Will Be Named
at Early Date in Police Probe.
RYAN LAUGHS AT TILE CHARGES
Member Plvonka of Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners aald to Be
Much Worried Over the
Prospect.
Word waa received In Bouth Omaha yes
terday that the name of the referee and
tha place of trial of the two arcused mem
bers of tha Fir an8 Police board would
be known next week1.
Commissioner Ryan yesterday laughed t
the charges and said he was willing that
tha trial should come. He refused to make
any other statement. Commissioner
Plvonka. who Is absent, haa been worried
for some time over the turn taken by af
fairs, according to some of his friends.
Pivonka. It la thought, would rather re
sign than face serious charges In a trial.
In fact, there has already been consider
able discussion of the advisability of both
officials resigning. This would simplify
matters to the extent of keeping the Ud
down on much that the Investigation
would open to public view outside of the
points at Issue.
Packers Will Assist.
That the packing companies will assist
the Boosters In allaying antagonism be
tween the foreign labor and the clUiens of
6outh Omaha waa the assurance received
from two of the officials of the packing
companies Saturday morning.
Headed by the mayor, a committee
waited on the officials for the purpose of
conferring on the best means to be taken
to avoid any repetition of the riot of some
yitx &ff o.
E R- Howe of Armour's and J- Palter
on of Swlffa received the committee and
listened to the statement of their mission.
Mr Ht"-. It la understood, aasured the
committee that at present the proportion
of foreign labor hired by bis company did
not aggregate mora than 5 '!' of
the whole force employed at the plant
which he controls. He said that In most
cases the foreign labor waa employed a
tasks not acceptable to American labor
When informed of the grievance felt by
the native labor he Insisted that his com
pany always gave preference to the em
ployment of English speaking men rather
than to others. For the future he as
sured the committee that home labor
would receive every encouragement and
that word to that effect would be given
out at once. He said he was anxious,
especially during the winter, to provide
work for the home people.
Practically the same assurance was re
ceived from Mr. Patterson of the Swift
company. At the other bouses the offi
cials were not in their offices at the time
and the committee proceeded to the stock
yards to Interview Manager. Buckingham.
He also was absent at the time.
It is their intention to renew their ef
forts next Monday. All told, the members
of the committee seemed pleased with the
resulte of their mission.

CRUISER WILL GO TO TRIPOLI

FEAR ACTS OF UNRUXY NATIVES
Killing- of Herbert DeCoa by Tribes,
men While In -Advance oi Party
Remembered by the State
Department.
WASHINGTON, 6ept. 9. To Impress the
unruly tribesmen of Tripoli, who have al
ready taken one American life, with the
power and willingness of theUnlted States
government to protect its citizens on for
eign soli, the scout cruiser Chester will
be despatched to Derna or Benghazi, porta
on the Mediterranean, early in October.
The warship will afford protection and
such countenance as may be appropriate to
the American archaeological expedition
which, under the auspices of the Archaeo
logical Institute of America, Is engaged In
the excavation of the ruins of Cyrene.
Herbert DcCou 1 Shot.
The expedition began. Its researches about
a year ago with the permission of the
Turkish government, which controls that
part of Africa. The party, under the direc
tion of Prof. Richard Norton of Bos
ton, apparently succeeded in winning the
confidence and friendship of the native
population. On March 11, last, however,
Herbert DeCou. member of the expedition,
was shot to death by tribesmen from a
neighboring district when he waa proceed
ing from the camp to the excavations In
advance of other members of the party.
Three Arabs charged with complicity In
the murder were arrested. The State de
partment haa been advised that their trial
soon will be held. The Ottoman govern
ment moved as soon aa possible tn appro
hending the suspects and haa given assur
ance that an honest effort would ba made
to punish tha guilty persons. It Is not
certain by any means, however, that the
punishment of those responsible for the
outrage will be an object leseon sufficient
to control the anti-foreign fanatloism.
Will Protect Expedition.
The State department is determined that
the safety of the expedition, which will
resume work early In October, will be as
sured, as far as thla government can act
by precautionary measures. The Chester
is now with the Atlantic fleet in Virginian
wafers. It will be shortly sent to a navy
yard for overhauling preparatory for Its
trip to Tripoli.

PLANS FOR THEYISIT OF TAFT
Much Attention to Be Shown Presi
dent While in Iowa This Month.
JOURNEY OF TWO DAYS OUTLINED
Chief Executive to Be Accompanied
Across the Mete by Governor,
Members of Congress and
Officials.
(From a Staff Corespondent)
DJES MOINES, 6ept. 10 (Special)
It is the plan of leading republi
cans of the stato to show to President Taft
great consideration and much attention
while in Iowa the latter part of this
month. He Is to cross Iowa In zigzag
fashion, going east to Waterloo, back to
Des Moines and down to Ottumwa, taking
two days to the trip. One Interesting
feature proposed is that the president shall
leturn to Des Moines from Ottumwa and
witness a new Masonic play written by
Joe E. Morcombe of Storm Lake, which
is to be presented by Masons - to the
Masonic lodge. The president Is to be ac
companied across the state by the gov
ernor and state officials and members of
congress and his Journey will be given
this much of official recognition and
dignity. It Is expected, however, that his
addresses will be political and partisan In
character and gave great weight In shap
ing up the political linea for next year.
An erroneous Impression ha gone foRh
that the state Is already distracted with
factional disagreements and that the linea
have been formed for a fight for tha dele
gation next year as between the president
and Senator La Follette. Thus far there
has been very little said save In a few
newspapers about the matter. It is not
anticipated that either the senators nor
the members of congress will take any
very active part In the fight, unless it Is
a fight relating to what shall go Into the
state platform.
The Tippecanoe club banquet in this city,
which it was feared woild provoke a fac
tional quarrel In case an effort was made
to commit the club to some certain
candidates, proved to be a love feat
There war no discord of any consequence
and all were well pleased with the out
come. It is known that soma members
of the club had planned to Introduce a
resolution to commit the club to some
things, but they did not take any action.
Prison Probe is at Work.
Attorney General Cosson, with Judge
Roberts and Mayor Sheldon, la at Fort
Madison, where, according to reports from
there, they have started the investigation
Into the affairs of the prison. The charges
grew out of the publication of sensational
statements In an Iowa City paper, emanat
ing in part from prisoners at the peni
tentiary. These accusations were directed
against the entire prison management, al
leging misuse of the prisoners, unhealthy
conditions, favoritism, neglect of the parole
law and personal misconduct on the part
of the warden. A part of the accusations
have already been disposed of by a re
port of the president of the State Board
of Health on the sanitary condttlona pre
vailing. The most serious part refers to
the personal life of the warden, and the
belief prevails that he 1a merely the victim
of the malicious accusations of convicts
who want to create sympathy for them
selves. It is , expected the Cosson com
mittee will .call before it every convict
who has anything to say on the matter
and every employe and everyone having
any actual knowledge of what has been
done there.
Investigating Padrone System.
Federal -officials, in conjunction-with the
state labor bureau, are engaged In making
Investigation of the labor conditions pre
vailing here, with special reference to the
accusation that a padrone system is car
ried on among the Greek laborers. This
was started some months ago, but was
Interrupted. It follows lines similar to
those which resulted In ttte conviction of
several Greek labor agents in Minnesota,
and also caused an investigation in Mason
City. It is alleged that Greek "labor
agents" have a system of exacting from
newly imported laborers a certain, amount

TAFT'S TRIP NOT POLITICAL

EDUCATION FOB NATION PURPOSE
Executive Believes I'nltorm Legisla

of Divorced Persons In
Another State.
BEVT.RLT. Mass.. Sept. .-Pr!dent
Taft is going west to educate the country.
His U.OOtVmile "swing around the circle"
that will begin next Friday and mind up
forty-six days later Is to be. marked as
little as possible with politics, and It Is
to be as broadly instructive on vital ques
tions of government as he oan make it.
The president Intends to deliver a per
sonal message to the thousands who will
hear him speak. He told callers at Parra
matta today that the trip will afford him
little opportunity for political speech
making, aside from Ms five or six1 set
addresses. The remainder of the trip will
be as educational as he can make It.
Want t'nlfnrm Divorce Law.
To the set speeches of the trip the presi
dent today added more than a dozen gen
eral subjects and this list may ba In
creased. Two of the sublects which the
president discussed today wtih callers were
thota of a uniform divorce law and trusts,
particularly with reference to the supreme
j court's Standard Oil and Tobacco company
decisions.
On the question of marriage and divorce
the president has very decided convictions,
which have been strengthened by the nu
merous recent separations between well
known people. The president believes that
a person who has been divorced in one
state should not be allowed to remarry In
another stata. He regards marriage In
such cases as bigamy and is of the opinion
that through like legislation tn all the
states they can be prevented.
The president's position with regard to
the Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions was
explained by him In a speech at the Yale
commencement exercises In June and he
probably win expand upon the ideas there
expressed. He thinks the decisions are
good, and remarked then that business
should find in them a guiding star by
which to steer.
Other subjects, the president said to
day, will take in all sorts of government
problems. Speeches on such subjects, the
president feels, he can w-ell make at any
place to which the arrangement commit
tees have assigned him and politics can
be confined to political organization.

"I have been suffering for years with a
combination of stomach trouble, catarrh
and other troubles, with general debility.
I could hardly do anything at times on ac

I did eat I did not seem to get any

to get up at night for something to eat In
order to stop the hungry feeling, that
would come over me.
"Munyon's treatment had been suggested
to me, but I laughed at the Idea that they
could do me any good, as I had tried so
many doctors and remedies without re

all the tlma. Nothing I could do made me .
feel any better.
"I had little hopes that his new treatment
could help me. but when I heard what
